My use case is, for multi-pages and picture-heavy documents, inability of conversion to PDF or custom scaling to Fit-To-Page. Trial and error is needed to try different setting(s); my wish is ability to quick check if changed setting yields Fit-To-Page; in other words, whether Fit-To-Page is more important than legibility for Page Thumbnails.

As-Is, I am finding following after conversion or custom scaling:

Picture is shown partially in a page
A page is converted to two pages (because of text overflow)

IMHO, either one or all of following for single view to show more Page Thumbnails helps

narrow spacing (between ThumbNails); it occupy 32% footprint (relative to PageThumbnails)
Page Thumbnail size be reduced

I'm able to show 72 pages at once:

It probably also depends on the screen's resolution.

Thanks, I have maxed out screen resolution; Can spacing between Page Thumbnails be reduced?

No, just their size. I also maximized the window's size by hiding the menu bar and toolbar (F8 and F9).

Export the pages as images and stitch the images together in Photoshop.
